Tee times moved up for Sunday at the Masters due to expected severe weather

AUGUSTA, Ga. – A severe weather forecast for Sunday afternoon has prompted Masters officials to move up the tee times for the final round at Augusta National. The field of 65 players who made the cut will play in threesomes off two tees (Nos. 1 and 10) starting at 7:30 a.m. ET. The lead threesome will tee off in the final group at 9:20 a.m. Final-round coverage on CBS will be live beginning at 9 a.m. ET. In the latest weather forecast issued by the tournament, a broken line of strong to severe thunderstorms – with potential for heavy rain and strong winds — is expected to reach the Augusta area at approximately 4 p.m. before pushing East by 7 p.m. Winds will increase ahead of the storms, with gusts expected to reach 25-30 mph later in the day. There is a 70% chance of thunderstorms. “The safety of everyone on our grounds is paramount,â€� said Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley in a press bulletin released Saturday afternoon. “We also believe the earlier start will give us the best opportunity to complete the Masters on Sunday. “This decision should benefit everyone – the players, our patrons and our fans watching around the world. Given the competitiveness and drama of this year’s tournament, we look forward to an exciting conclusion tomorrow.â€� Despite the schedule adjustment, players may still encounter some weather issues, with a 30% chance of morning showers and isolated thunderstorms Sunday, along with winds in the 15-mph range. Webb Simpson, who moved into contention after shooting an 8-under 64 that leaves him at 9 under, is hoping for weather to make an impact. “I like that there’s weather coming in,â€� Simpson said prior to the schedule adjustment. “I like that it’s going to be windy and tricky. I think that it’s better for me because I’m assuming I’m going to be a few back still after today going into the final round, so I think a little bit of wind and trickiness helps.â€� Rickie Fowler said avoiding the nasty weather will be a plus. “We have been dealing with mud balls pretty much all week, so I’m going to pray for clean golf balls in the fairway and we’ll go at it from there,â€� said Fowler, 7 under after a 68 on Saturday. “But obviously it’s been amazing week here, I think to dodge the storms as much as we have and hopefully we can play early like we are tomorrow and get this thing in before anything hits.â€� The Masters has finished on a Monday just five times, most recently in 1983 when Seve Ballesteros won his second green jacket.

Nick Faldo recalls funny memory of pals, rivals Arnold Palmer, Jack NicklausNick Faldo recalls funny memory of pals, rivals Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus

One of Sir Nick Faldo’s favorite memories of Arnold Palmer came at the tournament Jack Nicklaus built. Faldo was the Memorial Tournament honoree two years ago, and he was touched by watching Nicklaus and Palmer sitting next to each in the clubhouse, with Nicklaus making sure Palmer was doing OK. Faldo described it as a sweet moment between two of the most revered figures in golf. And then he saw the competitive side of the two rivals. MORE GOLF NEWS “Arnold looks out the window and says, ‘Hey, Jack, it looks pretty green out there. I’ve never seen this place looking so green,'” Faldo said. “And Jack goes straight into it: ‘We built a brand new clubhouse. We’re serving Jack Nicklaus wine. We’ve

Top 30 Players to Watch in 2019: No. 24 Brandt SnedekerTop 30 Players to Watch in 2019: No. 24 Brandt Snedeker

THE OVERVIEW For a minute there, a few people started to lose sight of Brandt Snedeker. Injuries and a winless run of more than two years meant he fell into the shadows of consciousness while others stepped up to fill the breach. Despite the fact he was still playing decent golf, he could feel it. But the 37-year-old and past FedExCup champion was not ready to be forgotten, as he re-announced himself with his sublime efforts at the Wyndham Championship. There he opened with a famous 11-under 59, becoming the 10th and most recent member of the very exclusive (sub-60) club. He would go on to win the ninth title of his PGA TOUR career. Not content to stop there, he has already notched up a runner-up finish in the new season, falling in a playoff to Kevin Tway at the Safeway Open. He now has his sights set on a return to the TOUR Championship and another FedExCup title. His last trip to East Lake came in 2016 – a stat that does not sit well with a man with six trips to the Playoffs finale in the FedExCup era. His trademark putting remains his strength as he’s running fourth in Strokes Gained: Putting through the fall series and was ranked 16th on TOUR last season. As long as he can find the greens in regulation, Sneds is going to be a threat wherever he tees it up. — By Ben Everill Click here to see who else made the Top 30 list. BY THE NUMBERS FEDEXCUP UPDATE Current 2018-19 position: 18th Playoff appearances: 11 TOUR Championship appearances: 6 Best FedExCup result: Won the FedExCup in 2012. SHOTLINK FUN FACT In shooting 59 in the opening round of the 2018 Wyndham Championship, Brandt Snedeker became the fifth player to shoot a sub-60 round and go on to win. INSIDER INSIGHTS PGATOUR.COM’s Insiders offer their expert views on what to expect from Brandt Snedeker in 2019. TOUR INSIDER: After a small lull in his career mainly brought on by injury, Snedeker looks set to find his place back among the elite. The performance at Wyndham last season was epic and just another display of putting brilliance we have become accustomed to. The fire is clearly back in his belly and as such, don’t be surprised to see a 10th TOUR win soon. — By Ben Everill FANTASY INSIDER: Riddled with injuries for the last several years, he’s remained a dynamic contributor exponentially more than we’ve wailed over his absence at key times. Combine that resolve with a busy schedule and a proven record of hoisting hardware (nine career wins!), he simply doesn’t let us down even amid physical challenges. Continue to invest with confidence when it makes sense, which is often. — By Rob Bolton EQUIPMENT INSIDER: Snedeker has been using a White Hot XG Rossie putter (34 inches) for years now, and it’s still in the bag. That’s not likely to change anytime soon. That being said, Snedeker doesn’t mind switching it up when it comes to other clubs in his bag. Snedeker won the 2018 Wyndham with a new Bridgestone Tour B JGR proto driver, and a Graphite Design Tour AD-IZ shaft, but he’s since switched to a TaylorMade M3 with a Fujikura Speeder shaft. Snedeker also currently plays with Bridgestone J15CB irons, and a combo of J40 and J15 wedges. — By Andrew Tursky STYLE INSIDER: Snedeker rarely misses a beat when it comes to style. Consistently sharp looks with contemporary fits are his trademark. While he favors a traditional style, he embraces the latest trends and isn’t afraid to dial up vibrant colors to give his outfits some pop. His best fashion move lately has been the addition of G/FORE’s saddle shoes. The modern take on this classic silhouette is a perfect fit for Brandt’s style. — By Greg Monteforte
